Chapter 1112: Premiere Box Office
After a night without words, Ye Xuan came to the company early the next morning.
"BOSS, the box office is out on the first day."
Albert was holding a document with a somewhat lonely expression, looking absent-minded.
"Bad?"
Seeing Albert's expression, Ye Xuan was a little puzzled.
"No, no, no, yesterday's premiere of "Soldier" had a box office of three million, which is already a very good number. Now many people are talking about "Soldier", and most of them praise the word-of-mouth is also very good. ”
Albert shook his head.
"There's a website in the U.S. called Deep Water, which is a website that specializes in rating movies. "Soldier" has a rating of 500 people, with a score of 8.4, and it can be said that the response to "Soldier" is very good. I estimated that yesterday it was three million at the box office, and today it is very likely to break through to five million. ”
"Then why do you look like you sigh?"
Ye Xuan picked up the documents on the table and looked at them.
Alas....
Albert sighed.
"BOSS, my old friend Dick's "Jungle Pure Heart" premiered yesterday with a box office of 20 million, but there was a lot of scolding on the Internet, a lot of complaints and abuse. I estimate that the box office of "Jungle Pure Heart" will be very poor, and it will not exceed 50 million. ”
Albert explained.
He and Dick had known each other since college, and had known each other for more than twenty years.
As an old friend, Albert naturally hoped that Dick's film would be a big hit, but the truth was the opposite...
The movie "Jungle Pure Heart" has a huge investment, although there are no well-known actors, it has been prepared for three years.
It is said that Dick ran all over the world for this movie, and the total investment cost reached a full 300 million.
The cost of 300 million is expected to be 50 million at the box office.
This can no longer be described as a box office hit, but a loss of money to grandma's house!
What's more, what about the director of the movie hitting the street or the famous Dick?
"I guess Dick's mentality exploded." Albert sighed again.
Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders and remained silent.
In Ye Xuan's view, Dick's movies hit the streets, what does it matter to himself?
As for Albert and Dick being old friends, this is equivalent to an old friend's work not going well, and Albert, as a friend, is naturally very worried.
Yesterday's box office data Joseph's "Mad Warrior" topped the list with 35 million box office, while Dick's "Jungle Heart" ranked second with 20 million, but because of word of mouth, today's box office data will definitely plummet off a cliff.
In addition, there are other movies, the anime movie "Wild Beast" grossed 8 million on the first day, and the suspense movie "Love Time and Space Disorder" grossed 5 million on the first day.
"Soldier" ranked fifth with a box office of 3 million on the first day!
No one dares to underestimate "Soldier", and after the movie was broadcast, it set off a wave of discussion, and the popularity is comparable to Joseph's "Crazy Soldier"!
"BOSS, we've made a lot of money this time. With an investment of five million, the movie will be able to return to its original cost after today, and how many box offices tomorrow will all be made from profits! ”
Albert hides his old friend's frustration at the box office.
The company has made money, and now should be the time to be happy!
"This is the first pot of gold we have earned since we changed the name of Sihai Entertainment to Tenglong Entertainment!"
"The company's focus will be on Iron Man next, Albert, if there are any difficulties in filming, or if you lack money, let me know."
Ye Xuan looked directly at Albert and said.
Ye Xuan was very satisfied with the box office of "Soldier", originally Ye Xuan thought that the box office would be very good, but he didn't think that it would be so good.
Now the most important thing for Tenglong Entertainment is the filming of "Iron Man", with an investment of 100 million US dollars, if this movie loses money, it is equivalent to Ye Xuan's loss of 700 million RMB!
"Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down."
Albert was tense, he knew that Ye Xuan trusted him very much.
"Hmm!" Ye Xuan nodded.
In addition, "Soldier" will also be released in major movie theaters in China, and the Chinese dubbing has also been done. Because of the time difference, the box office on the first day has not yet come out, Albert, you have to remember that we have a lot of channels. Although the Tenglong Entertainment branch in the United States is still developing for the time being, Huaxia is our base camp! ”
"The box office of "Iron Man" I estimate is at least one billion!"
Ye Xuan paused.
"Dollars!"
Doodoooooo –
Just as Albert was about to say something, Ye Xuan's phone rang.
"Mr. Ye Xuan, I am Jeff, the chairman of MAC Cinema, and this is the case, we MAC Cinema want to adjust the time period of "Soldier". From twelve to two in the morning to ten to twelve. ”
"No problem."
Ye Xuan said calmly.
Any company in the world is going to make money, and it's the same with movie theaters.
Yesterday, the box office data of "Jungle Pure Heart" was very poor, which means that not many people are willing to spend money to buy tickets to watch "Jungle Pure Heart" today.
There is no money to buy movie tickets, the first thing to lose is the company that invests in the movie, and secondly, there are movie theaters.
You know, cinema and cinema are mutually beneficial.
Movies are big hits, movie theaters are also making money, and vice versa, no one watches movies, why should movie theaters waste a good time period from ten to twelve o'clock?
If it weren't for Dick's fame, MAC Cinema would have taken "Jungle Heart" off the shelves, and wouldn't even bother to give it from twelve to two o'clock!
"Mr. Ye Xuan, you can come to Washington for a meal when you have time."
The two exchanged very pleasant phone calls, Jeff took the initiative to show goodwill to Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan also hung up the phone with a few polite words.
According to common sense, this kind of notification of the exchange of movie time periods, Jeff, as the chairman of MAC Cinema, will not call Ye Xuan.
There is only one reason, Jeff wants to get to know Ye Xuan so that the two companies can reach a better cooperative relationship in the future.
Ye Xuan naturally would not refuse Jeff.
Multiple friends and multiple roads, this is a phrase that my father often hangs on his lips.
"Albert, I always feel like something is wrong."
Ye Xuan recalled watching "Jungle Pure Heart" last night and said.
"Where's the boss?"
"You and Dick have been friends for many years, I think you also found out yesterday that there was a problem with the editing of "Jungle Pure Heart", not to mention you, even I, an amateur director, can see it."
"Who knows, Dick himself is a director who doesn't play according to common sense, and his films are imaginative. Maybe... Perhaps he thought that this editing method could be recognized and liked by the audience, but unfortunately failed. ”
Albert thought for a moment and said.
"Really?" Ye Xuan muttered to himself.
"No matter, we don't need to take care of other people's affairs, what I'm most concerned about now is how much the box office of "Soldier" has on the first day of China..."
